A business case for the Enterprise Change Management Office
Are you building a case for a Change Management Office (CMO)?
Or you are a Change Practice Manager and you need to get some communications out fast about the benefits of your Change Centre of Excellence?
Here’s a few benefits to get you started. The CMO:
🟠 Is led by a dedicated change professional who has established a place online where you can find what you need to support your change initiative
⚪ Removes duplication of effort – with a consistent set of tools and methodology
🟠 Builds community and knowledge management – it establishes or builds on the change community of practice ⚪ Grows change capability for everyone across the business, beyond the change management team members
🟠 Improves the quality of what is delivered – with consistent application of a toolkit that is supported by quality and governance
⚪ Promotes the value of change management as a strategic capability
🟠 Consolidates reporting, especially with an enterprise view of change for decision makers and change receivers
⚪ Integrates with the Project Management Office building synergy and mutual understanding about roles and responsibilities for optimal delivery
These are also the clues to the CMO Service Model and what ‘good’ looks like to define success metrics.
